He explained that 72 of the pioneer students will be graduating with upper credit, 104 lower credit, 93 pass, and the remaining ones are having spillovers and other related issues.
Mamman said: “Tomorrow (Saturday) we will be awarding National Diplomas to the pioneer set of our 399 graduating students across the 11 initial programmes of the Polytechnic as from 9 am at the take-off site.”
He added that the graduating students excelled in their academic pursuit would be awarded with various prizes, while some Nigerian leaders will be given an award of fellowship for their contributions to the institution.
